Sweepstakes Points Tallied at National Junior Limousin Show

Sarah Johnson of Williamsport, Ohio, won the participation sweepstakes at the National Junior Limousin Show and Congress (NJLSC) in Sioux Falls, S.D., July 12–18. The 13-year-old won the Junior Division public-speaking and photography competitions and placed second in the Junior Division judging competition. She also led the Class 23 winner in the bred-and-owned Limousin bull show and was an Intermediate Division showmanship finalist.

Individuals earned sweepstakes points by exhibiting animals, qualifying for the showmanship finals, and participating in the public-speaking, photography and judging competitions. State teams gathered points from herdsmanship, a group class in the cattle show, the Limousin Beef Cook-Off and the public-speaking competition.
